Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, direct anti-tumor proliferating, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a homogenate of cartilage in an aqueous solution, this homogenate being centrifuged and further fractionated to obtain a total extract having molecules of a molecular weight comprised between 0 to 500 KDa. The composition of the liquid extract has then been investigated by different ways. Further fractionation of this extract led to the preliminary characterization of some of its active components. Due to the multiplicity of biological activities of the total liquid extract, it can be used for treating numerous diseases or conditions such as those having components selected from the group consisting of tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation and collagenolysis. This extract has no offensive effect on normal body functions. Therefore, this shark cartilage extract has a very promising therapeutic value. The process for the obtention of cartilage extracts is simple and efficient. The unexpectedly valuable products obtained by this process are therefore an indication of a new and non-obvious process.

Abstract: The phase shift evaluation method uses an orthogonal correlation between an input test signal (T) representing a momentary required value for an electric locomotive drive and an output test signal (TA) obtained by filtering the angular velocity or angular acceleration at the drive output shaft using a bandpass filter (BP) with a centre frequency corresponding to the frequency of the test signal. The output test signal is multiplied with the input test signal and a 90 degree phase-shifted version of the input test signal, with formation of the mean values of the obtained products and calculation of the phase shift from the arc tangent of their quotient.

Abstract: A method for determining the complexed forms of immunologically determinable prostate specific antigen (cPSA) in a blood sample, e.g., by two-site immunometric assays, in which the blood sample is treated to render free PSA (fPSA) immunologically nondetectable. A particularly preferred immunometric assay method employs three anti-PSA antibodies: an antibody that binds to both cPSA and fPSA (anti-tPSA), a second anti-tPSA antibody which is characterized by the unique property that binding to fPSA is blocked by binding of fPSA-specific antibodies, and a third antibody which is a fPSA-specific antibody. Thus, binding of the fPSA-specific antibody to PSA in the sample allows only cPSA to be measured in the immunometric assay. Measurement of cPSA blood levels has been found to provide a method for aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer that is highly sensitive and specific, and eliminates the need for a significant number of patients to undergo unnecessary prostate biopsy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for igniting and operating a discharge lamp (1) comprising inductive means, comprising a primary winding (PRIM) which passes a high-frequency current during ignition and during lamp operation, and a secondary winding (SEC) which is magnetically coupled to the primary winding and electrically coupled to an impedance M (C1, C3) for limiting the current passed by the secondary winding. The current through the secondary winding generates a DC voltage via rectifying means, by which current part of the circuit arrangement is supplied. According to the invention, the circuit arrangement is also provided with means X (R, S1) for increasing the impedance value of impedance M after ignition of the discharge lamp. It is achieved thereby that the amplitude of the DC voltage is at a desired level both before and after ignition of the discharge lamp, while no major power dissipation takes place during stationary lamp operation.

Abstract: A programmable metallization cell ("PMC") comprises a fast ion conductor such as a chalcogenide-metal ion and a plurality of electrodes (e.g., an anode and a cathode) disposed at the surface of the fast ion conductor and spaced a set distance apart from each other. Preferably, the fast ion conductor comprises a chalcogenide with Group IB or Group IIB metals, the anode comprises silver, and the cathode comprises aluminum or other conductor. When a voltage is applied to the anode and the cathode, a non-volatile metal dendrite grows from the cathode along the surface of the fast ion conductor towards the anode. The growth rate of the dendrite is a function of the applied voltage and time. The growth of the dendrite may be stopped by removing the voltage and the dendrite may be retracted by reversing the voltage polarity at the anode and cathode. Changes in the length of the dendrite affect the resistance and capacitance of the PMC. The PMC may be incorporated into a variety of technologies such as memory devices, programmable resistor/capacitor devices, optical devices, sensors, and the like. Electrodes additional to the cathode and anode can be provided to serve as outputs or additional outputs of the devices in sensing electrical characteristics which are dependent upon the extent of the dendrite.
